VEGETA MESSED UP!!! Reacting to "DragonBall Z Abridged Episode 52" with Kirby!

The “wait for Goku” is maybe the coldest line in the whole show. It hits so hard every single time I watch it.

[@fireball1249]

I don't get it. How's that Line supposed to be a burn?

[@fraserking4747]

@@fireball1249 Vegeta’s whole deal is that he wants to prove he’s better than Goku, ever since they met basically. That line is Cell saying to him, “Yeah, you’re just a sidekick like the rest of his crew. Go sit in the corner and wait for the real Saiyan warrior to come solve your problems again.” For a guy as proud as Vegeta to get told that and instantly get bodied is a HUGE blow.

[@judgejohnson2796]

8:37 fun fact Toryama actually states this is the strongest blast ever in the Cell saga, because Vegeta actually goes all out! And I know its hard to tell but Cell did move to where only his arm got blown to bits.

[@SilverHairedFreak25]

Yeah, if Cell hadn't moved at the literal last second, he would have _died._ Geetz was _this close_ to ending the arc prematurely.

[@RichardX1]

If you've watched DBZA up to this point, you've become familiar with the Vegeta Cycle by now.

[@Kaempfdog]

The Final Flash scene is one of the greatest moments in DBZA. People love it when they just launch space blasts into oblivion and the absolute build up with the music, and SO many of the awesome jokes…also how accurate it is to the original conversations. It’s just TOP TIER. Not saying anything going forward is lesser, but they HAD to go all out here. My favorite moment in DBZA has yet to come. (Not counting Buu bits because Buu saga is my favorite.)

[@BL-9065]

10:56 "Yes, his pride, his ego, AND his spirit, AND back are all broken." Couldn't have said it better myself Kyle 😌 11:20 Kirby thats how i feel whenever a video with you and Kyle in it ends haha i always want more 😂

[@smugsneasel]

Everyone's going to be talking about the Final Flash scene, but I love the fact that Gohan calls out for Krillin's help after Piccolo. This also goes back to the history of trunks scene where he says that his motivation for turning super saiyan was the thought of losing Piccolo or Krillin. I just like the fact that his efforts and likeable nature are acknowledged and treasured by Gohan.

[@ranwolf7650]

I love how Kirby went from total confusion in the beginning of the series to giddy anticipation for the new(for her) episodes

Final Flash’s build up is so incredible Vegeta scream the music & the fact that Cell is actually worried makes it amazing it’s my favorite attack in DBZ. & yeah Vegeta got owned immediately 😂

[@toddkes5890]

3:40 - one guy had a fun energy drink story. He wanted to make sure he got up for work on time, so the night before he prepped his coffee maker with an energy drink instead of water. The next morning he was halfway to work before he realized he forgot his car.

[@andrewevers2420]

Funny thing, that move, The Final Flash, could have killed Cell if it hit him dead on.

[@gyver8448]

To be clear: When Cell elbowed Vegeta in the back, that actually broke his spine. It doesn't really get spelled out in the episode but that's how badly he got messed up.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

That’s what I figured

[@gyver8448]

@@theduckgoesmoo Sorry. You said he broke his back in the video shortly after I made that comment, haha.

[@nickcrawford2456]

I absolutely adore and appreciate the fact that both Kirby and Goku made the same excited squeal when they first saw Gohan as a Super Saiyan, lol.

[@gagejoseph91]

In the original, the Final Flash scene is rather brilliant. Vegeta knows he is outclassed and the only way to be a match for Cell is to hit him with a *fully charged* Final Flash. The issue with that is that releasing it at full strength means charging it for a while, and an attack with that much build up is easy to interrupt or avoid. Vegeta's solution? Taunt Cell. "If you really want to test your strength, stay right where you are!!" He is appealing to Cell's cockiness to tempt Cell to take his attack head on. The abridged version skips over that entirely.

[@supersaiyandiclonius3056]

And it's even mentioned by the original creators that Cell still dodged at the last moment. If he hadn't, Vegeta would've killed him.

[@Kyzen_Wrell]

Not entirely. Abridged did give a challenge to Cell. “In mere moments, all you’ll be feeling, **IS** ***OBLIVION**.” And Cell’s response? “Go ahead. **Flip* that coin.” That was his way of saying do it.

[@Hayden_Lummus]

@@Kyzen_Wrellexactly. It’s the Goku in Cell’s biology that makes him want to see how hard Vegeta can hit him. Because like Goku, he wants a good fight, a good challenge

[@Stew91]

"Next time, why don't you remember your place like the rest of them...and wait for Goku". Cell didn't just press the Goku button, he smashed it.

[@flyingpigmonkey1]

Along with his spine.

[@BlahBlahWoofWoof12]

Poor Vegeta. Sticks & stones my break your bones but words leave psychological wounds that never heal.

[@TheUltimateRare]

fun fact: The Final flash has enough energy to kill Cell. the reason he lived was he noticed just in time how strong it was and barely side stepped it. Very interesting to see that A non moving cell would die this episode.

[@Michaelatimer]

Finish watching TFS' commentary on Episode 55, immediately come and watch your reaction to 52. Nice.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

It’s hilarious how that ended up

[@JokanTheGoat69]

Poor Krillin just wanted his baeteen back. He didn’t deserve that!!

[@allenlea4654]

"Dont lose your head. They were my family too." 👀😂

[@VegetaLF7]

So fun fact, Toriyama himself confirmed that had Cell not dodged at the last instant and only taking a glancing blow, a direct hit from Vegeta's Final Flash absolutely would have killed Cell here. Vegeta has enough raw power to destroy Cell if he can land a full power hit, it's just a matter of actually *landing* the hit.

[@gurvmlk]

Although to this day, I'm still confused as to how Cell actually managed to dodge without that sidestep relocating him by a couple hundred miles.

[@Fordo007]

@@gurvmlk I assume the core blast that does the most damage is in the center and the rest is just flash and light and not really as powerful.

[@gurvmlk]

@@Fordo007 Suppose that's possible, but it's still weird seeing that massive explosion, and then Cell is standing there missing just an arm.

"Go ahead. Flip that coin." The music they got for this... So good.

So, oeiginally TFS considered making cell turning perfect and gohan turning super saiyan happen at the same time in the episode intercutting in-between them, but decided against it to have both of them have their own moments

If anyone is wondering about the "pork" thing at the end, I think it's because supposedly that's what human tastes like, according to people that have actually tried. don't trust someone asking if you want to try long pork

That and in the abridged Universe, Goku's heart illness was due to eating too much Bacon. So probably safe to say that Bacon is in Goku's blood by this point.

[@lanehacker4545]

Kirby’s happy claps make me feel normal lol I do it too

[@Fuzz32]

“I was wondering what would break first. Your spirit or your body!” For Vegeta, seems like the spirit went first. Or maybe both at the same time, I don’t know.

[@connorwood9211]

So who's more at fault for Perfect Cell? Vegeta - just letting him absorb 18 Trunks - not killing either 18 or Cell himself Krillin - Destroying the remote 17 and 18 - not running/flying/swimming away

[@joelsasmad]

A thing I like to point out is how great it is that Cell is a combination of all the DNA of the heroes literally while figuratively he is born as a combination of all the mistakes and hubris of our heroes. It's **Perfect**.

[@nehemiah7012]

Going with vegeta, cause even if krillin destroyed the remote, vegeta could have killed him, also vegeta suggesting the androids to not be destroyed before being activated

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

(Smug Pompous Villain) "Know your place like the rest of them." (Cold as Hell) "And wait for Goku." Cell smashing the Goku button so hard that he broke it.

[@AgntFL]

According to TFS themselves had Cell not leaned over then the final flash might have actually ended him

[@VegetaLF7]

Not TFS, *Toriyama* said it. Had Vegeta landed the hit directly on Cell, had Cell not dodged at the last possible instant, Vegeta would have killed Cell here. That Final Flash was strong enough to do the job, it just wasn't a direct hit since Cell bitched out at the last possible moment.

[@gurvmlk]

I love how DBZA completely flipped the opening scene between Goku and Gohan. In the actual DBZ, it was Gohan's idea for Goku to attack him like that. Stating that if Goku wanted to push Gohan far enough to become a Super Saiyan, he needed to stop going easy on him just because he's his son.

[@Neutral_Tired]

The fact that Krillin was the first person to attack Perfect Cell, call him. Say what you will about him, he's got guts.

[@sanfransiscon]

Cell inflicted just as much damage with his words as his physical attacks. If he were in DnD he'd be a strong user of Vicious Mockery.

[@DarkknightChris]

11:29 Goku holding two of his namesakes in his right hand.

[@sethgibson5148]

Probably my favorite episode, or at least my favorite line. I wish it was actually said to Vegeta in the show, and listened to it.

[@s.o.c.c.5027]

10:40 is one of the most bad ass lines in this series.

[@TBomb15]

fun fact: when cell has to regernerate a body part his power level drops by a large amount. After goku blew the top half of cell off, he only had about 1/3 of his original power level.

[@lightwalker222]

"Prince... Has this ever worked?" I like to think of the multi-energy blast spam attack everyone does as being sort of the energy version of flurry of regular punches (you know, the one where they animate the same two frames in rapid succession). Neither of those two attacks has ever knocked someone out in DBZ, but you have to assume it is useful for wearing the opponent down/distracting them or something like that, otherwise why would the best fighters in the universe use that technique at least once per fight?

[@Isosyth]

After getting hopelessly addicted to DBFZ I now appreciate Cell's Perfect Attack much more.

[@itzwizory9556]

I love how Kyle took the time to add a big arrow pointing to Buu Bits being next, he knows his audience so well

[@theduckgoesmoo]

If I didn’t I can promise I’d get a dozen comments today alone asking me to watch buu bits

[@DanFDTR]

The crazy thing about the Final Flash is it actually was strong enough to kill Cell if he just stood there and took it but he tried to dodge when he realized how strong the attack was that's why only his right side was completely obliterated.

[@frescopino7866]

In hindsight, it probably wouldn't have been enough. Cell surely thought he was going to die from it, but he also thought he wouldn't survive his own self destruct. If anything, if he just stood there and took it he would've super powered up right away, depriving us of a fight with Goku.

[@DarkGamer-co1hx]

@@frescopino7866 Nope, Toriyama himself confirmed that had it been a dead on hit, Cell would be dead.

[@marvik7437]

Fun fact in the main story if cell didnt Dodge the final flash it would have completely wiped him out a feat even a stronger goku using his instant transmission kamehameha couldnt do thats how strong the final flash is

[@kihouou1295]

I'd like to believe the only reason that didn't kill cell immediately is how close Goku was and how he pointed it. It only covered from the waist up. Question is, does that mean cell's main nucleus in charge of regeneration is in his lower extremities, namely his butt XD

[@Xynth25]

Toriyama came out later to clarify that the Final Flash here is the strongest single attack in this season. Even stronger than Gohan's Kamehameha at the end that finally killed Cell. Cell dodged at the last second, if he didn't Vegeta would have succeeded in killing him.

[@Reezy596]

Next is one of my favorite episodes of *anything* tfs

[@themanlybeard9212]

Just to make you guys aware, it's canon that as well as Vegeta angeling the brunt of his attack away from the planet, Cell also dodged at the last second, had he not Vegeta would have ended the Cell saga right here.

[@gurvmlk]

I wouldn't say for no reason. They obviously did it to accentuate just how powerful Cell was. And filler or not, I think it works just fine. Given that even if the Destructo Disc had worked, a technique like that couldn't kill Cell anyway. The cut would've been so clean, he could've probably just as well regenerated himself without anybody even noticing.
